Pros:-If you love hardcore puzzle games this is the game for you.-Unlike other shallow games, this one tells a story, the Journey of life -as it was first called. You slowly see it unveil as you make progress.-The main feature that I like is that you never know what to expect in the next step you make. The map is full of surprises.-The design is beautiful and unique.-The game requires you to pay attention to details and think outside the box, then you will realize that the solution was right in front of your eyes. It has its own logic and its own specific style, and once you come in terms with it, you will love and appreciate every single puzzle.

Cons:-The music gave me headache after some hours into the game, so I had to turn the volume down. It's supposed to be soothing, but I personally found it a bit annoying.-There is no Antichamber 2

If you are looking for different and brilliant puzzle game, you have come to the right place.

Some puzzles can be difficult but suprisingly not frustrating, if you find yourself to be stuck on something, you just go to do something else and things will eventually work out, sometimes you might even get to feel good about yourself for figuring it out.

Having some unusual, but clean graphics, presenting strange physics, but very accurate, Antichamber runs its own league.It's a puzzle game that plays with your mind. When you thought you reach the end, it's just the game trolling you. You will often come back to some visited places and notice that the Matter Gun opens a completely new and unexplored path. Then you will reach a dead end and you will try new approaching techniques.In short, this is literally mind-♥♥♥♥. But a brilliant one. You will feel really satisfied after you get past a challenge. The solutions require careful thinking and sometimes the most unexpected idea turns out to be the correct one. I have played the game more before getting it on Steam, yet I never reached the end myself.

Pros: +takes the ''unique idea'' to a whole new level; + challenging and rewarding puzzles; + the way you see the path (and this is actually a real hint) matters a lot; + makes you feel comfortable in its world, as you cannot die or take damage;

Cons:-after you discover most of it, there is not much that wants you to get back and replay it; -can become frustrating at times, as some puzzles have very unexpected solutions;
